Meanwhile the Second Freshman team defeated the M.I.T. Sophomore squad, 18-12 yesterday in a close, hard-fought game. With the count all tied up at 12 all in the fourth period, Lutz intercepted an Engineer pass on the Crimson 30-yard line, and coasted up to the M.I.T. 20. At that point he flipped a lateral to Roosevelt, who went over for the winning score...
...head. With a class fund of $150 to support its plans, the Committee is in a position to promote worthwhile activities and interests, hobbies, such as stamp-collecting and the like, which contribute to the enjoyment of college life. Thus many men of similar bents, who often find the Yard a cold and disillusioning experience, can be drawn together by bonds of mutual interest.

The Fellows, though, had decided that they wanted Lord Hugh, admitted him. Crossing School Yard...

Over Yonkers at 8:53 a. m. the passengers heard cries from school yards where teachers delayed classes. At Sing Sing, the New York Times reported, "the ship had a different and silent greeting from convicts in the yard." At the Danbury Fair, barkers, fan dancers and blooded cattle paused to stare with their Connecticut patrons. The dirigible arrived at Boston about noon, circled the city, headed...
